    HAVE A DAY.
    <--- Quote by Former U.S. President Theodore "Teddy" Roosevelt
    "And there will be strange events in the skies--signs in the sun, moon, and stars. And down here on earth the nations will be in turmoil, perplexed by the roaring seas and strange tides. The courage of many people will falter because of the fearful fate they see coming upon the earth, because the stability of the very heavens will be broken up. Then everyone will see the Son of Man arrive on the clouds with power and great glory. So when all these things begin to happen, stand straight and look up, for your salvation is near!" --Luke 21:25-28
    For the Lord himself will come down from heaven with a commanding shout, with the call of the archangel, and with the trumpet call of God. First, all the Christians who have died will rise from their graves. Then, together with them, we who are still alive and remain on the earth will be caught up in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air and remain with him forever. --1 Thessalonians 4:16-17

    Athens:
    Never seen it, it's supposed to be full of smog though. All the ancient things destroyed by smog, too hairy for me

    Baghdad:
    Not great anymor since a) it went down after the middle ages and b) was destroyed by the US

    Beijing:
    I have no idea what this city is like, Chinese cities tend to be too ultra-modern though

    Berlin:
    I'm not able to make a rational evaluaiton of this city. Voted.

    Cairo:
    Said to be full of sh!t, full of people, etc...

    Chicago:
    I know bugger all about American cities. They're all the same though.

    Delhi:
    Too big.

    Havana:
    If it wasn't for crumbling buildings, it would be beautiful. I think it was great 30-40 years ago.

    Hong Kong:
    A mix of Chinese and American cities. Too "let's do this because it's cool".

    Jerusalem:
    Oh yeah, sacred place of 3 religions, what a gem. Voted.

    London:
    Said to be great, neverb een there though. Voted, not with passion though

    Los Angeles:
    American city

    Madrid:
    Spanish city

    Mexico City:
    Mexico City

    Montreal
    Canada has soem cool places I think, no idea what this one's like though.

    Moscow:
    Supposed to be a cool place. Voted.

    New York:
    I heard there's some big hole there. It's great by definition though, sort of defines western culture
    Voted.

    Paris:
    Defines European culture Voted.

    Rome:
    This one's said to be semi-great. I'll be there next January, can't say I'd vote for it though.

    Sydney:
    Opera houses don't make cities.

    Tokyo:
    Too big, too Japanese, too multi coloured. Nahhh...

    Toronto:
    Another Canadian place. Any good?

    Venice:
    Overrated. The Macus square is full of pidgeon sh!t.

    Washington, D.C.
    Said to be a cool place. Voted.

    Say, where the hell is Vancouver?

        Only went for Toronto, not a fan of cities.

        Would have gone for Vancouver too, if it was in there.

          I guess you haven't been to Toronto recently.
          But since you're in England, just stay under the wind a little while longer. The stench will get there.
          What?

                  You wouldn't have loved it these past few weeks...

                    Of the listed choices, Chicago, Hong Kong, Jerusalem, London, Moscow, Paris.

                    Personal impression, discussing this would be futile.

                        if you dont mind the weather, it is a very cosmopolitan city with lots of things happening all the time. just as dirty as athens and more rotten buildings. great castles and you never get the time wrong

                        Paris
                        my all time favorite. it has a flair that appeals to me like no ther. The most beautiful capital of the world propably.
                        tones of things to see and do. THE city to be lazy in. drinking coffe at the Bistros next to the Seine and just enjoying the atmospaire. french like you as long as you can speak french. very romantic city too.




                        Rome
                        the similarities with athens are breathtaking. still it is more humane. crazy drivers like athens. crazy people like greeks. it is true that greeks and italians are una faca una raca. all in all great city and i wasl always mistaken for italian and tourists were asking ME for directions


                        Sydney
                        ?

                        Tokyo
                        ?

                        Toronto
                        ?

                        Venice
                        one of the most beautiful cities in the world at its road to ruin. tourism must simply STOPPED at that city it is destroying it. dont visit in august the humidity and heat will suffocate you.
                        the canals, the gonndolas, the churhes the museums the caffes are great. it has a byzantium feeling too about it(not strange considering history) agreat, beautiful city that must have less tourists VERY FAST.

                        Washington, D.C.

                          Toronto, New York, Los Angeles, Berlin, London & Tokyo.

                          Of them I've only been to London, though.

                          Now where is Stockholm in that poll?
